Have you considered thinking before posting or are you trying for a Facebook cringelord "Sound and the Fury" vibe? Maybe try not emulating Benjy so hard in the future.
Jobs took credit for everyone else's work. He presented himself as a visionary and a creator, when he was mostly just a liar and a thief.
Maybe Edison was worse. I'm not saying Jobs was worse than Edison. I'm saying Jobs fabricated a legacy that a lot of people still believe, and will believe for a long time.
If only there was a person who actually had anything to do with the Cray 1 they could put on it instead? Maybe that person will even share the name with the computer?
It gets worse the more you think about it. Cray and Jobs had completely opposing paradigms for how to develop computers. Cray was always innovating and providing capability, Jobs was always simplifying and burying low-level tools.
He's clearly saying he doesn't think Jobs was related to Cray. The double negative is likely unintentional and English is not everyone's first language.

Jobs wasn't innovative, he knew innovative people and took their credit. He was a businessman.

The fact you believe this just proves how big of a scam artist he was.
His biggest success (and scam) was how he sold himself as being some tech god, which is still believed by many even this long after his death.

He worked very hard to make you think this, yeah. Meanwhile all the people doing the work remained pretty obscure.

Awww, someone is having a temper tantrum.
While I usually encourage punching up, maybe you shouldn't do that with the average internet moron.

No content, only crying and whining? Classic tantrum.
All the assumptions? Reaffirmed?!
Yet even they still keep showing you up. That has to sting.

Guy died of cancer because he thought he knew better than doctors. What a fucking idiot.

Steve Jobs was the Edison of personal computing.

Jobs was a glorified salesman. Edison was an oligarch notorious for lying, cheating, stealing, and his complete lack of ethics and morals.
I'm absolutely no fan of Jobs but Edison was the bigger bastard.

Wasn't Woz really the brain behind it all?
kata1yst@sh.itjust.works · 6 pts · 334d
One of several, but the first and probably most influential. Met Woz. He's brilliant, but a weird dude.

What does accessibility mean in this context? That basically makes it sound like Jobs just lead the sales and marketing department.
